8 - Barbaricus [a Violent Fantasy World]

Slowly, the light in my head fades, and I regain consciousness, as I feel my body fall to the ground, as if I had lost consciousness for a moment. I stand up, only to realize that I am no longer in the club, indeed, I am no longer in town! Looking around, I notice that I am at the base of a mountain, under a starry sky. It is night, and the light of the stars is just enough to make me see the path that goes along a gorge in the mountain. Behind me, a dark land where, about half an hour away, I can glimpse a city, or at least the lights of what appears to be a fortified city. Where did I go? It looks like an uninhabited area, like open countryside ... I look down, and I notice that my clothes have changed: now I'm dressed in leather shoes, light and poor clothes, and I'm wearing a strange armor, I think it is also leather. But above all, a sword and a bag containing, it seems, gold coins hang from my belt. But no food.

I look around, undecided on what to do. The most logical thing is to get away from the mountains, and head towards the city, but suddenly from the throat I hear a shrill scream, of a woman in danger!

"Stop! Get away from me !!! Help !!! Someone Help me !!!"

She looks young and in grave danger, and I have a sword! But... is this a smart idea? After all, I don't know where I am ...
